Johnson Central is the team to beat, no doubt! LC is a talented team that comes in at number 2 with Shelby Valley, Betsy Layne, Sheldon Clark, and Paintsville in as contenders after that.

LC is good, but I feel as if Johnson Central is too much to handle. JC returns 3 starters off last years team, (Gullett, Blair, and Adkins.) Also adding that Truman Salyer and Patrick Rice played significant minutes last year at over 15 minutes a game each. These guys have the experience and have won the region as freshman, sophomores, and juniors, (excluding Rice, who was at SC for his first 2 years but won it last year) Also add in Mason Blair who is a sophomore and had an incredible summer. These boys will be a tough outing for anyone in the STATE. EXPERIENCE and LEADERSHIP will get these boys another regional championship.

Not to mention that Central dominated the summer by beating LC twice, and I believe by 15 each time, or at least once that I know of, and an Elite 8 finish in the state tournament this summer.

Until LC can knock JC off then Central is the clear favorite.
